I Think I Have Been Fashioned By The Fickle Weather Of Britain That It Is - It's Forever Changing. There's No Kind Of Constant Sun Or Dry Weather Or Freezing Weather, And I'm Always Having To Change And Adapt To That.

I'm An Artist Living In A Small, Scottish Village. So One Would Expect To Be Treated With Some Sort Of Caution. And The Village And The Farmers Have Shown Enormous Tolerance Of Me And Interest In What I Do. I Mean, They Don't Necessarily Understand What I'm Doing All The Time. But They, You Know, I Think They Respect What I Do And That There Is A Connection Between What They Do With The Land And What I Do, You Know, That We're Both Dependent On Weather And Respond To That.
